Help with GD Support in php 4.3.11

wang_drugay

Hi all
Am a newbie when i comes to php. I have installed php 4.3.11 using the source code. When installing, I forgot to install the gd support. I am now wondering whether there is a way of installing the gd support without having to reinstall php again. Would be helpful if someone could help me out. (a step by step instruction would be helpful)

If it is not possible, then can let me know what i would have to do? Reinstall php?

Thanks in advance

if you are on linux, then yes you will have to recompile php and add the --with-gd switch to tell it to compile php with gd support, using the bundled gd libraries that come with php now.
if you are on windows, you will want to look at your php.ini file, and see what folder it says extension_dir is set to, then make sure that the folder they show has a file called php_gd2.dll in it. then in your php.ini file, uncomment (by removing the preceding ; ) the line ;extension=php_gd2.dll

I have reinstalled php with -gd support. During the installation, i did not have any problems and the installation took place without a glitch. However looking at the phpinfo page, i cannot see the gd support. Do you think i have missed out anything??

Did you remember to enable GD support in php.ini?

if you are talking about extension=php_gd2.dll, then yes i have enabled it. Anything else? I still cannot figure it out
